PDF files and Power point

[ohiorebel]

I'm in search of a program, procedure or formast option that will convert a PDF file (text and graphics) into readable print in power-point slides. The problem I'm having is that the text after imported into power-point slides and then shown through an epson viewer its very fuzzy and not easily readable. I'm sure that on of the problems is that the font is 12-14 point .......but is there a way to make it less fuzzy and eaiser to read?

any help would be appreciated

Are you trying to add pdf files to a current presentation...OR are you trying to use a pdf file as a presentation? Whole?

I dont have an answer to your question but I do have a possible consideration for you. You can put pdf files into show mode in acrobat...so if you dont need to transfer a file because you need "one slide" to add to a current presentation, why dont you just present the pdf file as slides?
Also, you can save pdf as jpegs, tiffs etc...and then import...(but then not editable).

Thanks for your suggestions.......

When you mean put the PDF in show mode in adobe acrobat….I take it to mean this is a separate program from adobe reader?

Here is a total explanation of what I’m trying to accomplish.

The PDF file is a frame maker file that was created to print a study course in book form. The pages are approximately 8x11(US) with text in 12 point Arial. My co-worker created the PDF file from the frame maker file for the classroom instructors to reference.

My idea is to take each page of text from the PDF file (workbook exercises only) with the correct answers marked and flash it on the screen using PowerPoint and an Epson projector. I intend to place hyper links at various points on the page that will take me to my own PowerPoint slides to provide a further in-depth explanation of specific subject matter if needed.

The workbooks exercises are questions in sentence form (multiply choice), fill-in charts, and tables. Obviously I can’t change the text, tables and charts to 18, 20, 24, 28 point.

Here is what has happened so far. I have successfully cut and pasted several pages of the PDF file into PowerPoint. My problem however is after I resize to fit each page into the slide the text is fuzzy and hard to read. Other than that problem, my idea works fine.

Thanks for your help so far

Are you willing to post your pdf and ppt file (with ane xample slide of one that isn't quite right)?
I will be happy to try something out for you and see if it works, if it does...I will explain what I did and let you take it from there.

Also, PDF in reader, there should be a view full screen mode.
